LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 589, as amended, Morrow. Education: regional occupational
centers and programs.
(1) Existing
Existing law prescribes a formula for the apportionment of
funds for regional occupational centers and programs (ROC/Ps).
Existing law also requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction
to calculate a revenue limit for each ROC/P in a prescribed manner.
This bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction
to allocate funds to ROC/Ps that claim average daily attendance for
vocational and occupational instruction to pupils who are
incarcerated and enrolled in a county juvenile court school or on
probation and enrolled in a county community school , for every
day on which a pupil receives at least a minimum day of instruction
vocational and occupational instruction in addition to a minimum day
of nonvocational and nonoccupational instruction in a county juvenile
court school or county community school . The bill would
require that these funds be allocated to ROC/Ps at the statewide
average revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance calculated
by the superintendent pursuant to existing law, that the total
number of units of average daily attendance for which funding is
allocated statewide pursuant to this bill not exceed 1,000 units of
average daily attendance, unless that limit is increased in the
annual Budget Act or other legislation, and that, in allocating
funding for average daily attendance pursuant to the bill, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction shall give first priority to
fully funding those units of average daily attendance that were
claimed by an ROC/P pursuant to the bill in the prior fiscal year.
The bill would appropriate $2,800,000 from the General Fund for
the purpose of funding average daily attendance claimed pursuant to
its provisions.
(2) The Budget Act of 1998 appropriated $303,930,000 from the
General Fund to the State Department of Education for apportionments
to school districts for regional occupational centers and programs.
This bill would augment by $2,569,000 the amount to be
appropriated for this purpose in the Budget Act of 1998 in order to
fund average daily attendance claimed under the bill.
To the extent the funds appropriated by this bill are, or would be
deemed to be, allocated to a school district, as defined by existing
law for purposes of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California
Constitution, those funds may be applied toward the minimum funding
requirements for school districts and community college districts
imposed by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
